2017 has proved to be another amazing year, but one that came very close to ending in tradegy after my mum was left fighting for her life. With a long term relationship ending, and a new one beginning, it’s been a year of change, but of positive change. I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors…
Let’s face it, January can be a pretty tough month to get through. With all the fun and excitement of Christmas long gone, the first gloomy month of the year can seem never-ending. But don’t fear. Here at Camping with Style we’ve been busy planning adventures and finding fun things to fill the new year…
A circular walk from Brinscall to Great Hill *From Brinscall swimming baths, you can get up to Great Hill and back down in 2 hours. We extended our walk with a meander through the woods and took a lot of time out for mushroom photographing and foraging, hence the distance below showing at 8.82km and…

I love kayaking, though I normally take to the water on lochs and lakes and have only once, very briefly, ventured out on to the sea before. With the opportunity to spend 5 days in Cornwall over the August bank holiday weekend, I thought it would be the ideal chance to take a kayak out…
We’ve received our survey packs for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2017. We’ve washed out all of our feeders, bought a couple of others and have restocked with a variety of different feeds to try and attract as many different birds as we can to our little garden. If you’d like to take part, but…
After a late night spent welcoming in the New Year with close friends, I wake up with a sore head and a raging desire to drink litres of water. The voices of some of my early rising friends drift upstairs as I mentally tot up the number of cocktails and glasses of Prosecco I drank…
We’ve loved the look of Stand up Paddleboarding (SUP) for some time, and I must admit to having one (disastrous!) attempt at it myself a couple of years ago. In my defense it was freezing cold, my back injury was at it’s worst and it was in a lake full of mud and pond weed…
Autumn is a brilliant time of year to get outdoors and explore. As well as being our favourite time of year for camping, we also love Autumn walks. At this time of year a warm outer layer is a must, and something with good levels of wind protection and waterproofing will help you stay comfy…
I have to admit to being a bit of an adrenaline junky, and I tend to enjoy most activities that get my heart pumping and scare me slightly. Having recently started climbing however, I was a little surprised to find that climbing an indoor wall, gives me the same surge of adrenaline and endorphin rush,…
This was the first weekend in many months that we’d planned to spend at home, mainly so I could catch up on some feature writing. After working all Saturday morning however, by midday I needed some outdoors time, and so I promptly decided I wanted to go kayaking (not that I’m at all impetuous). Where…
